Murals

This residential mural titled “Missionary” was our first experience painting in a stairwell for a very Queer home in the Mission District. The mural depicts several bodies celebrating sexuallity and gender roles. The biggest challenge in this project was the narrow staircase and the limited space. The colors and imagery wrapped around the space create a unique experience entering the house. “Missionary” Acrylic Approx 240 sqft June 2021 Mission District. San Francisco CA    

For this mural we started with the Progress Pride Flag because to us it represents the amazing diversity within the Queer community. We wanted to showcase “heroes” from the past and present who we feel should be celebrated in the LGBTQ+ community as well as the intersection with our Latino Heritage. We hope that this mural invokes love and curiosity for our past, a connection to our present, and inspire a diverse future for the LGBTQ+ movement.   SF LGBTC CENTER.  “Queeroes” Acrylic. Approx 210 sqft May 2021.

On February 2021, we painted this mural on a MUNI Ramp located at the intersection of Market and Church streets.

In 2020, I was asked to design a mural covering the facade of a three-story building that houses a Latino low-income housing project and a historic queer community bar. In collaboration with Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), an organization working 40+ years to keep Latinos and working families in San Francisco’s Mission District, and El Rio -a fabulous 40+ year old queer neighborhood bar, I embarked on this massive mural challenge.  This mural depicts the many faces, traditions and ethnic backgrounds within the Latino community in the US while it champions sexual and gender diversity.
